Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the vast and intricate subject of enlarged glands in the neck, also known as "scrofula." It delves into the historical understanding of these swellings, tracing their perceived origins from "strumous" or "scrofulous" individuals to the groundbreaking work of the author, who posits that they are primarily caused by pyogenic infection, not necessarily tuberculosis. The author emphasizes the importance of treating the underlying cause of the infection to effectively resolve the glandular enlargement, challenging the traditional reliance on tonics and other ineffective treatments. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the lymphatic system and its role in the development of these swellings, offering a valuable resource for medical professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the causes and management of enlarged glands in the neck.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes a series of paintings, drawings, and other works of art created during the Italian Renaissance, predominantly in Florence and in the Veneto region, with particular attention to the portrayal of women. It argues, based on the author's extensive research into Renaissance culture, that the complexity of their portrayals reveals a more nuanced story of women's experience in Italy at this time compared to how it has previously been understood. The author demonstrates that despite the overt misogyny of many male humanists, women were able to express a sense of personal agency and identity through artistic patronage and creative production. This book is key reading for anyone interested in Renaissance art, in feminist history, or in the role of women in pre-modern society.
